Karl Landsteiner University team shows gut viruses persisting in water amoebae, urging an evaluation of water safety rules. Krems (Austria), 18. December 2025 – Human norovirus and adenovirus, two major causes of viral gastroenteritis, can persist for extended periods inside free-living amoebae that are common in natural and engineered water systems. A now internationally published study shows that these gut viruses can “hide” within different stages of the amoebae and remain capable of causing infection after this detour. The work, […]

Population-based IgE profiling in Türkiye demonstrates a novel approach to linking molecular sensitization patterns with environmental conditions – with Karl Landsteiner University as a key partner. Krems (Austria), 11 December 2025 – Allergic sensitization follows distinct regional patterns, and molecular IgE profiling can reveal these profiles in detail. An international research team has now demonstrated both phenomena in a population-based study of 1,000 adults from five cities in Türkiye that represent distinct climate zones. Using high-resolution molecular allergy diagnostics, the […]
